Hi, joined this website because I’m officially lost in life.
I’ve spent 2 years on 3 separate university courses ( illustration, game art, designer maker ) and neither of them clicked, I’m out of UCAS funding to find another potential course and complete the 3 years for a BA degree.
I feel lost- being in education has been a huge part of my life and routine, so suddenly living with my parents and being both out of work and education feels like such a blow to my ego, I’m not sure what the next steps for me are?
I’m 21, autistic and specialise mostly in art, but studied advertising, psychology and history- does anyone have any advice for what I should do next? I can’t seem to find any job availabilities and when I do I can never make the interview land right, any help?
ahhh yeah thats the hard part.... there is no jobs in the uk anyway, all you have is services, basic warehousing and so on for service based companies.the uk produces nothing.... with that in mind, if you wish to do anything of value, that produces anything... given the uk produces nothing... its up to people to set up any production.... so in that case youd have to go self employed with a idea to produce something.... bearing in mind we dont produce anything because we import things so cheaply that it destroyed our own markets.... although with brexit adding customs charges soon which will make imports expensive maybe local people can start producing things again competatively? all depends what you wanna do though.for a secure employed basic job, the only real hope is agency work and accepting boring basic warehousing jobs. it usually doesnt require interviews... and you can perhaps just do that to raise capital to create your own self employment maybe?
Ooh potentially, I only really need a simple boring job since I am self employed on the side selling artwork- it’s just nailing the interviews, they all usually ask if I’m disabled towards the end and it feels a bit embarrassing that they can notice, tells me right away I’m not getting the job : 0
Totally misunderstood you. Your problem is not even a problem. Go to a JobCentre, they will give you EXACTLY that kind of job you're after. If you want to speed it up, go to your nearest grocery store, tell them you want a job. You'll be fine. With all that in mind, yes, Uni was a waste of time, as you have it all figured out. So stick with your art and chip in with a boring job, until you make it big of course.
